Algerian Foreign Minister, Mourad Medelci, stressed on Sunday that Algeria will not withdraw its ambassador in Damascus, pointing out that the Arab League may lift the suspension of Syria's membership before November 16th.

During a joint press conference he held in Algiers with Egyptian Foreign Minister, Mohammed Kamel Amr, Medelci said suspending the membership of Syria is temporary and can be lifted before November 16th, as an Arab League meeting is scheduled to be held on the same date in Rabat.

Medelci said that Algeria rejected the draft resolution, adding that Algeria was going to withdraw from the Arab Ministerial Committee if the draft was adopted.

He pointed out that there was a heated debate before reaching the resolution which expresses the viewpoint of the Committee, not the viewpoint of Egypt or Algeria.

"More than ever before, the time being requires reinforcing relations with the Syrian government to put into effect the Arab League's work plan," the foreign minister added.

For his part, Egyptian Foreign Minister, Mohammed Kamel Amr, stressed that the main goal of the Arab League's initiative is averting foreign intervention in Syria, pointing out that Algeria and Egypt are seeking to ward off foreign intervention in Syria under any pretext.
